An extreme test for this is to put a bit of lube (a chunk the size of a boolit) on a paper towel, then set it on the dash of a closed up car on a sunny day. Look and feel if any oil migrates to the towel.

WTS, BT sniper/C-H one step 44 cal .429 swage set.
This is some of his earlier work and is top quality. This die was one of his C-h die bodies with beefed up parts and turned into a one step by him.
This turns annealed .40 brass and a .40 lee TL...

If I were making a boolit lube to fit your parameters "I like that it is an easy formula to make, just a few common ingredients and relatively quick to make". I'd use 357Maximum's recipe for 666+1, AKA: Satan's lube. But it does get soft in high...

I hope you don't get discouraged easily.
When I first started casting, before I ordered a Lee bottom pour pot, I tried to cast a few with a Lee ladle and a old used 45 cal 2 cavity Lee mold. I didn't have any success, but I was doing this while...

I thought sure this was going to be instructions on decorating with toilet paper. You know, there is a proper way to throw a roll so it unwinds and hangs on every branch, or at least thats what I'm told. Not that I have any experience.

pkchwy,
welcome to the forum.
Judging from your previous posts, I assume you are lube-sizing in a Star.

Sometime around the Christmas holiday I found a box of CCI 22lr ammo with the bullets poly coated in red and green.
I bought a box for a keepsake.
I was in Sportsman Warehouse yesterday and found a 4th of July box with the bullets colored red,...

I was given an old bucket with some "vintage" rusty wheel weights.
I tested every one with side cutter pliers.
NOT ONE steel or zinc WW in the bucket.
Oh for the good old days.

A while back I destroyed the factory "Silence-Air" suppressor that came on my 1st-Generation Umarex Octane break barrel air rifle. I was wanting to see if that plastic suppressor really did quiet down the report of this particular air rifle so I...

I suspect the issue could be that the RCBS boolit fits your Rifle's throat better than your NOE copy. You may or may not get the NOE to shoot as good as the RCBS in your rifle.
Boolit molds can have slight variance from mold to mold, even from...

To properly solve your problem, you need to find the cause.
For instance, my Lawn/garden has a lot of night crawlers...large night crawlers. They make my lawn bumpy. It isn't that noticeable until we get a dry spell, which isn't that often in...

In Glencoe...a running gas engine and wurr of the blades of a lawn mower is like a siren's song :lol:

Every problem I've ever had with a money transfer involved a USPS MO. I've got to want something really bad and the seller only accepting a MO to use it again. I too have passed on many purchases because the seller demanded them.

I can't see the anvils well enough to be sure, but it looks exactly like the ones I have to set grommets in leather and fabric. These seem to have adjustable grip stops on one handle.

The cold shoulder you are finding is the result of corp bean counters running the large companies that bought up the smaller ones. Their job is to reduce expenses even at the risk of long range profits.

This morning it was in the big CI skillet alongside the hen fruit with toast and jam. I was in a hurry because I overslept, so everything at one time.
I've tried it in the nuker and the oven, but prefer it slow cooked in CI.

That is a pretty good idea, although small quantities of brass may cost more to ship than they are worth, making it cost prohibitive to become a popular thing.
